I went and got some new stuff for my tortoise

I got her cypress mulch for bedding, a thermometer, reptile vitamin powder and some zophobas or whatever they are called. What is the best way to feed those? I held it by the tail and she was repulsed by that thing squirming around. Can you kill them first and then feed? Pretty gross little things. I guess we will try again later. She ate some more mushroom with some of the powder and my boyfriend went to get some other stuff to try. She is now outside in my 6 by 6 foot dog run. We never use it for the dog and now I have the perfect use for it. I had some big rocks I put in the corners so she can't get out. We have decided to call her Terrapin as we have a Grateful Dead name theme around here. Hopefully I can find a stricty African Tortoise bulletin board, if anyone knows of one that would be great! If anyone has any tips or ideas please post them as I am new to tortoises. I always wanted one, but I don't usually buy animals, I like to rescue them. This was the perfect opportunity. My friend back home got her and another one. I saw one last time I was back home (the other one died) and knew how soon she'd get sick of it so I told her if she ever didn't want it I'd take it. By the next time I came home (three weeks) she had decided she didn't want it -so voila I have a tortoise. Thanks for all your help in figuring out what type of tort I have. See you around!
Lindsay
